I'm going to be playing this class in soon with some friends, but I'm having a hard time finding information or clarification on some things.
This class is in sandstorm, on page 90+
Dessicating touch. It says it does xD6 dessication damage, and i've read the small bar about dessication near the beginning of the book, but it never clarifies if this touch attack actually dessicates the enemy, that is, to dehydrate them, and make this damage cureable by drinking. It also never states at what rate this damage is healed from doing so. What is the purpose of this ability doing dessication damage if it does NOT dehydrate? Just different damage type to get around DR or other such things?
Create Sand GolemIt doesen't exactly explain much on the creation process of this. I've never played a class that has created a golem though, so that may be the cause of my confusion. Now it says I need shapesand, some volcanish ash and powders worth 2,000 gp and a craft check... Than what? He's done? or do I have to use the crafting table below that? Which requires mass amounts of gold and XP. I would assume this is not so, hence why it's a special ability. Someone just run me through how I am supposed to make one.
Create Salt MummyWith this one, I can't find anywhere the information about making one. I have checked all through the walker in the waste info aswell as the salt mummy. Maybe I'm missing something.
Now, about becomming a dry lich. It says I need these canopic jars.. I don't beleive they are purchasable. Does this mean I must craft them? Do I need craft wonderous item? Also, I know each of these carries one of my organs and they are my phylactery but do they all function independantly? As in, If someone were to destroy 4 of the jars and slay me, I still have 1 jar left with which to resurect? or must I have all 5 jars left?
Thank you!
